    A good striker is someone who knows how to kick lumps out of the opposition players and get away with it. They are not afraid of getting stuck in or getting hurt, they know how to read the ball and make space for themselves and if the defender retaliates they get penalties.

    Lineker was a great striker but never kicked anyone. Ian Rush too.
    Derek Hales was a great striker and kicked everyone.

    I do remember Keith Peacock being very devious at corners the one time I saw him play when supporting Halifax Town many years ago. Of course I never see such things now I'm following Charlton.

    A couple of seasons ago, Sarr did have moments where he caused problems for our defence.

    He slid in and turned a cross over the bar in the last minute. He should have scored.
    However, he got in there unlike Dodoo & KAG.

    I remember Gary Doherty going up front for Spurs in that FA cup match when we were 2-0 up (I think)......totally changed the game.

    What an awful night that was. Pretty sure it was the first time a club was given the whole Jimmy Seed Stand.

    I’m might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Leeds were the first team to be given the whole end in the 92/93 cup replay.

    I might be in the minority here but I think it’s actually a decent idea. Of course we never should be in this position thinking of playing a centre back up front but we are and right now I think he’d be a much better option than Dodoo and how KAG is playing at the moment.

    Sarr is a massive unit, he’s strong, he’s not slow, in fact quite quick for his height, he’s great in the air, got good technique and weirdly, him being left footed is another bonus.

    We have to remember that we are in League One, all players have their limitations, but a type of lump up front who is going to possibly bully defenders in this league, usually works exceptionally well. If he was to play up front at all, we should be looking to put in as many crosses as possible as Sarr could really attack them and score.

    With Dodoo being dodoo, KAG playing poor and Best not signed yet, what have we got to lose if Magennis is out or desperately needs a rest?

    He could get the knock downs for our nippy little wingers too.

    Sarr is also proving to be a capable LeftBack when needed - again last night, DaSilva taken off late when we were being flooded with high balls into the box.

    Extra height at the back, yet with a good tackle, ability to run with the ball and pass.

    Assuming Bauer is fit I can see him playing at left back at Scunny like he did at Bradford. This would also free up Da Silva for a possible midfield role if Reeves is not fit.

    Not seeing the CF in him, but what an improvement overall.

    Lovely little cushioned lay off for JFC's first goal.....

    Good header down last night too.

    Don't quite get the "cult hero in the making" tag, but glad he's doing well.

    Here's a song for him, based on "Wandrin' Star"....


    He’s a giant, he is called Naby Sarr
    He's a giant, he is called Naby Sarr

    His head is made for heading
    His feet are made to kick

    He's getting better at football
    But he is still better with his.......

    Prefer a Bowie version...


    He's a sarrman waiting in the sky
    He'd like to come and meet us
    Driesden thinks he'd blow our minds
    There's a sarrman waiting in the sky
    We've told him not to blow it
    Cause he knows Charlton's worthwhile
    He told me:
    Let the owners lose it
    Let the owners use it
    Let the owners lose money
  • He used to be shite,
    But now he's alright.
    Walking in a Naby wonderland.
  • I randomly played against a player on Fifa Utimate team who had a list of star players and then Naby Sarr at left centre back in a 3. Own up, who's team was it?
